Trading for Okung wasn’t as bad of a decision As many people think.

Just to clarify, we can cut Okung with no cap hit and save the $13 million if we so choose. The Chargers are responsible for the $3 million you're quoting, whether we keep him or not. And thus we are paying Okung $13 million, not 16. Your general point stands; it's just even better than how you presented it.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. And yes, it is even better than I thought. It really is a no lose situation. (Unless Trai suddenly becomes the best guard in the league.)

I agree with you. It was a stupid comment to make, but I just don't think it was racially motivated.

I don’t fully think it was I just found it unnecessary to make a snide remark about English not being a first language. Clearly my post was lazy not blatant ignorance for English lol.

We are on the same page, my friend.

 

Back to football, I really hope this trade works out. But I do think it was done based on sound planning.

My only thing is if this deep tackle class lives up to all the hype its getting and we dont pick anybody......im am gonna be severely pissed. 

Im tired of the screw ups with this position. Its pathetic at this point.

Okung played well with Russell Wilson and he plays a similar style as Cam. I was actually hoping they would sign a LT like him years ago.

Sometimes a change in scenery can make a difference especially when you play for a former coach who knows your strengths .  We can replace a guard much easier than a LT so I see this as a win for the team and Cam . It also provides depth as we can work in Little bit by bit .

I’m expecting some more moves to be happening leading up to the draft. I hope we actually get more depth and potential pieces in FA and then get best players available at positions of need in the draft. So we can roll over some of the cap savings or give extensions for the core we want to keep before their rookie contracts are up.
